As the weather warms up, it's important to prioritize staying hydrated. The human body is made up of approximately 60% water, and water is essential for many bodily functions, including regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients, and flushing waste from the body. In this article, we'll go over how easy it is to get dehydrated and give you some tips to stay hydrated during your outdoor springtime and summertime adventures.

How Fast Can a Person Get Dehydrated?

The rate at which someone gets dehydrated depends on a number of factors, including the individual's level of activity, sweat rate, and fluid intake. In general, people can become dehydrated in as little as 30 minutes if they are exercising vigorously and not consuming enough fluids. 


For example, in 80-degree Fahrenheit weather, a person who is moderately active and not drinking enough water can become hydrated in a few hours. Symptoms of mild dehydration may include thirst, dry mouth, fatigue, and headache. More severe dehydration symptoms can lead to dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and even fainting. 

Tips on Staying Hydrated Outdoors

  1. Start hydrating before your adventure outdoors. Starting drinking water well before your adventure to ensure your body is well-hydrated before you even set your foot outside. This will help you avoid starting out already hydrated.
  2. No matter what your adventure is, take enough water with you. Be sure to bring enough to last for the duration of your adventure, and then some. It's better to have more water than you need vs. not enough water.
  3. Consider getting a hydration pack if you're going to be on an outdoor adventure for hours at a time. A hydration pack is a great way to carry water with you without having to stop and take out a water bottle. They usually come with a straw that allows you to drink on the go, leaving your hands free and making it easier to stay hydrated while you're active.
  4. Set a hydration goal and be aware of how much fluids you're drinking. Aim to drink a certain amount of water by a certain time, such as drinking 8 ounces every hour. This will help you stay on track and make sure you're drinking enough water.
  5. Take regular breaks to hydrate and rest your body, especially if you're doing an activity that causes you to sweat a lot. This will help you stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.
  6. Consider bringing along electrolyte drinks. If you're doing an activity that causes you to sweat a lot, consider drinking electrolyte drinks to replenish your body's electrolytes, which are lost when you sweat.
  7. Eat hydrating foods. Eat foods that are high in water content, such as fruits and vegetables. This will help you stay hydrated and provide your body with important nutrients.
  8. Monitor your urine. Check the color of your urine regularly. If it's dark yellow, it's a sign that your dehydrated and need to drink more water.
